Liquid People is a race of creature in the Water Civilization.
Nomenclature
Liquid People have the word アクア (Akua, Aqua) as a prefix, with an occupation such as Warrior or Agent as a suffix.
- During the Episode 2 block of sets, the suffix was education related (such as Teacher, Advisor or Academian).
Evolution Creatures have the word クリスタル (Kurisutaru, Crystal) as a prefix and resemble centaurs as they are humanoid in appearance but stand on 4 legs.
Japanese creatures with multiple races including Liquid People featured 電脳 (Den'nō) meaning computer, or digital brain. In the TCG, this was kept translated as Aqua instead but was used as the prefix of the creature name along with another races nomenclature (such as a Beast folk using Savage).
Gameplay
While they primarily are a Water Civilization race, Liquid People do feature multiple multicolored creatures, usually shared with the Light and Darkness races such as Ghosts and Initiates. There are a few mono-Light Liquid People: Aqua Holy, Aqua Humpty, and Aqua Dumpty.
The Liquid People creature with the highest power in the TCG is Crystal Lancer with 8000 power, and the creature in the OCG with the highest power is Crystal Zweilancer who has 13000 power. The strongest non-evolution Liquid People is Aqua Escort with 6000 Power.
Many liquid people are low cost creatures with a cost of 1-3, such as Aqua Hulcus, Aqua Guard, Aqua Belala and Aqua Soldier. Lower cost creatures such as these have a large opportunity to be evolved upon.
The cheaper Liquid People are not very powerful creatures when it comes to attacking, however most Liquid People have good effects, most of them related to sending a creature to the opponents hand, tapping them, or drawing cards.
During the Dragon Saga, they appeared as Liquid People Sen.
Story
Liquid People are the most populous race in the Water Cvilization. Transparent humanoids, Liquid People are easily recognized by the web of glittering cables running through them. Their bodies are encased in fluid that can be transformed as necessary. By changing from liquid to solid or vapor, they use their bodies for transportation on land or water, weaponry, or defense.
Liquid People are very refined and courteous and never self-assertive. Although they do not make good leaders and are not very creative, they are very good at following directions and can be depended on to get the job done. Each one has a chip installed in his head that allows for telepathic communication.
According to the background story, Liquid People evaporate instantly when touching hot ground, as referenced in Galsaur and Volcanic Zaurus's flavor texts. In Dealer, Eureka's flavor text, over half of Vegas Dollar's liquid people troops evaporated upon touching the grounds of the Fire Civilization.
